Xbox service is down, with outages meaning players can't play any digital or physical games, after similar PlayStation Network issues last week (www.eurogamer.net)

and I hit submit 59 seconds too fast. Guess what happens when I hit A to continue:

A login screen!

EDIT: BONUS ROUND

I cannot capture a screenshot of the game asking for a login, as the capture application requires I log in to Xbox Live.

    Interesting note: I took the Series X offline and suddenly Mass Effect let me continue! So there must be a check that online services are available, but a failure to authenticate was returned.

    I'm going to test another game to see if the same thing happens. Dead or Alive 6 is not installed, is very DLC heavy, and even includes a F2P core version. Let's see what happens...

    Confirmed: Dead or Alive 6 was able to install, fully patch, install all single player unlock keys, launches to start screen... but does not allow me to start a session. Same stuck login screen previously shown by Mass Effect Andromeda.

    I yanked the CAT5e, and suddenly I'm playing DOA6.

    My apologies news media. This is certainly looking like an outage that prevents any physical media from working... without workarounds.

    If anyone has any (reasonable) additional tests you think I should try. Let me know.
